Mendocino State Hospital

The TRUE REASON, Mendocino County has so many Mentally Ill People:

The State of California sent thousands of patients diagnosed with Mental Health Issues to Mendocino County from the late 1800’s until the 1970’s……….. The patients were exposed to everything from “Shock Therapy and Frontal Lobotomies to LSD Experiments and “Ice Water Hydrotherapy” Even mass numbers of forced sterilizations of patients were performed at Mendocino State Hospital .….. To really examine the Mental Health of the County it helps to realize the part the State of California played ion shipping the Mentally Ill to Mendocino County from around the State, and how in the 1970’s Reagan simply opened the doors and put these folks on the streets…… Mendocino State Hospital:

Mendocino Closed in the early 1970’s. At that time, approximately 282 people’s bodies were exhumed and moved to the Ukiah Cemetery. 1,660 people’s cremated remains and the cremated remains of 7 people’s limbs (arm or leg) were also moved to this cemetery and placed in a community grave.

There are a few burials on the grounds that used to be the Mendocino State Hospital (MSH). There is a map with names and locations of them at the Mendocino County Historical Society, Held-Poage Research Library in Ukiah, CA. There used to be small numbered cement markers on them, but they have long since disappeared.

As for those who were moved to the Ukiah cemetery, a full list of their names is posted a local web site.http://www.pacificsites.com/~pcarna/ Scroll down to the section on cemeteries and click on the letter of the surname for which you’re searching.

Now some news…all those who were moved to Ukiah cemetery died between 1930 & 1953. I have compiled a list of 812 people who died at the MSH between 1905 & 1918, of which 434 state they were buried there. As far as I know nodoby has ever found these burials and nobody can vouch for where they were actually interred. The state hospital records are not accessable because they contain private medical information, the folks at the Ukiah cemetery only have the records of those who were moved later, the county says they only know what is listed on the death certificate.

There was a bill passed to start a project to find where all those who died in the various state hospitals were buried. I have no idea how it is progressing. Nobody has made contact with me or the Mendocino County Historical Society about this project and their web site has no information on it that is of much help. (At least I can’t find it if it’s there.) See the following URL for more on the project.http://www.cnmhc.org/main/current%20news/ca_memprojdescription.htm

BELOW ARE JUST THE TOP GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTS, THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS MORE, thet gave these patients “large doses” 400- 800 micrograms, considering LSD only takes 1 microgram to feel its effects, one could only wonder what happened at the City of Ten Thousand Buddahs,(formerly Mendocino State Hospital) formerly Mendocino Asylum and now for the Mendocino LSD experiments links:

Only trying to shed some light on a subject which is rarely talked about: THE DRUGGING OF MENDOCINO COUNTY YOUTH AT THE HANDS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS, AND MENDOCINO COUNTY PROBATION. HOW MANY WERE DRUGGED AND NOW REMAIN TROUBLED? NO ONE KNOWS, AS THIS IS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. GO FIGURE THAT SOME OF THE EARLY LSD EXPERIMENTS WERE CONDUCTED AT MENDOCINO STATE HOSPITAL IN UKIAH, there were also experiments performed there on sterilization, electic shock therapy, MKULTRA the top secret CIA program which included Nazi doctors from operation “PAPERCLIP” also held experiments on unwitting “mental patients”. These “doctors” and shrinks later became part of Mendocino’s Infamous County Health program, the ones who worked hand in hand with county probation and prescribed mad doses of pharmaceuticals to Mendo Youth.

Type- ” just google it, type in “MK ULTRA MENDOCINO STATE HOSPITAL” or “MENDOCINO STATE HOSPITAL LSD”, “MENDOCINO STATE HOSPITAL PEOPLES TEMPLE” OR “MENDOCINO STATE HOSPITAL JIM JONES” ANOTHER THOUGHT, look how many crazies and people who “aren’t all there” in Willits and Mendocino County. When Mendocino State Hospital closed in 1974, they simply opened the doors and let the patients leave, others went to Guyana with Jim Jones and many other went to halfway houses in Mendocino County. These same patients were released, many stayed in the area, bred, and had children.

When the state stopped using this cemetery in 1919, there had been 4467 burials of …. and work began for the erection of the 500-bed, four-story, hospital building in Napa. … The doors of the unfinished entrance of Napa State Hospital opened on ….Mendocino State Hospital, originally the Mendocino State Asylum for the …

Most of the garbage you have in these articles esp about the People’s
temple is a distorted truth. Do more studies and look into mental illness of
this early peroid of the “drugs” You are viewing the entire subject through
a retrospective glass. Since it appears your information is “second hand”
i.e. written articles and newspapers–and not direct interviews with individuals that were participating you are just reinforcing views that were
incomplete or inaccurate at the time and still are. I was in Ukiah from
l958-2013 (I’m still here) and connected with the hospital by being
married to an individual who worked there and there are still a number of
individuals in the community who had connections with the hospital. If you
are going to distribute information, accuracy should be the over riding
guide. I am less sure of the People”s temple information since I was not
involved in it. Get a copy of the Lanterus, Petris, Short, Doyle act which was the “Master Plan” for mental health in the State of California in
the 60’s . California had a “Master Plan” for Water, Education, and
almost everything else in the 60s. Most of them never were implemented
to any extent. The Mental Health Plan was more than many of the others.
One main element of the Plan was to close State Hospitals and return
patients to their home area so they could be nearer their familiesl.
The new Psycotrophic drugs made it possible for patients that
previously had been a danger to themself or others could now exercise
some self control. Unfortunately, the small home type care facilitities that were to care for the patients and the clinics that were to monitor the
drug use etc. were never funded by the state. If the People’s Temple
made opportunistic use of the plan and it might seem they did, it was
not because they had any overriding control at the hospital. Check your
facts. Jim Jones, like Hitler and other megamanics, are an aboration
of time and place, not a deliberate action of the individuals involved
who are trying to do their job–caring for individuals, humanely, that are
not able to care for themsilfs. If the drug of use had been Marijuana
would the The Emerald Triange News have had the same opinion
and as far as Shelly Moore’s comment, If Mendocino State Hospital
had been in operation there is a good chance that Bassler would have
had a safe place to get hellp to work on his problems. Something
that his own father said was impossible to find for him. Oh the times!
How 20/20 hindsight is and how easy it is to distort it. Well, just another
opinion. CLC I was there.

"The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this." Albert Einstein, "My First Impression of the USA," 1921

Los Angeles Times, 02 Mar 2015 - A proposal to collect DNA from people convicted of some misdemeanors is a bad idea. Less than three months ago, California voters adopted Proposition 47, an initiative that reduced six felonies to misdemeanors. By far, most of the affected crimes are for drug possession.

San Francisco Chronicle, 01 Mar 2015 - "State Republican advocates for Oakland pot dispenser" (Insight, Feb. 22) and "GOP's crusader for legal pot calls it conservative cause" (Feb. 22) have both put a spotlight on the efforts of Orange County Rep. Dana Rohrabacher to get the Justice Department to refrain from trying to shut down dis […]

Willits News, 27 Feb 2015 - With at least six bills currently in legislature, and the deadline for new bills fast approaching, the Emerald Growers Association (EGA) is pushing for the North Coast's state senator, Mike McGuire, to introduce legislature that would classify marijuana as an "agricultural product." And the organization is no longer […]

SF Weekly, 26 Feb 2015 - Need Weed? Live in Texas? Come to a California In a past life growing up on the East Coast, I had two cities topping my list of places to visit: Montreal and Amsterdam. My reasons were as obvious as they were common. In Montreal, the drinking age is 18. In Amsterdam, you can buy marijuana in a coffee shop. For a thirsty and clear-min […]

Los Angeles Times, 25 Feb 2015 - Re "Catch and release," Feb. 22 It's unfortunate to see law enforcement leaders take the line that locking up problem drug users or threatening them with felony jail time is the way to get them straightened out. Law enforcement never liked Proposition 47 and actively tried to kill it, but its pique doesn't […]

East Bay Express, 25 Feb 2015 - How the GOP Led the Way in Defunding the War on Medical Weed. The American people, in a strange way, can thank Republicans for the historic end to the federal war on medical marijuana.
